Making space for community, onstage and off

Issue 03 of SCENE Magazine celebrates the spaces—both literal and imagined—that bring people together through theatre and the arts.

This edition explores how artists, educators, and collectives around the world are reimagining what it means to create, collaborate, and care. From a folk stage in North India to a rehearsal room in Leeds, a puppetry workshop in Hanoi, and a quiet tatami room in London, each story reveals how theatre becomes a living conversation between people and place.

Readers will discover features that intertwine art and activism, where humour, sustainability, and social justice meet. Woven through every article are the unexpected moments of making—messy, inventive, and deeply human—that remind us why we return to the shared act of storytelling.

At its heart, this issue asks how we make space for each other, for change, and for joy.
